The document, published Friday by the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs, provides comprehensive instructions for imams to incite violence in their weekly religious sermons, including inflammatory rhetoric and a message to “kill” the Jews.
…
“We call upon our Palestinian people … despite the pain and tragedies, [we] cannot raise a white flag until the occupation is removed and the independent Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital,” it reads.
The text then cites the Hadith (the Islamic oral tradition) that incites the murder of Jews.
“The time will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims kill them; until the Jew hides behind the stones and the trees, and the stones or the trees say, ‘O Muslim, O servant of God, this is a Jew behind me, come and kill him,’” it continues.
The document was exposed Friday by the research departments of Hakol Hayehudi news site and the Regavim Movement NGO, who likened its statements to a virtual “declaration of war.”
The disturbing development indicates that the supposedly “moderate” Palestinian Authority (PA) appears to endorse a perspective paralleling that of Hamas, with both groups unified in their animosity toward Jewish communities, thus dispelling any illusions of a fundamental distinction between the two.
Exactly.
